![]() ![]() You're focused on your head, and the three million years of evolution that resulted in incredible muscular skill doesn't get a look in." It's immediately obvious what you do, and it takes you into a completely different place, because when working with computers you normally don't use your muscles in that way. you can really start playing with sound itself, with its physical character. Eno described Kaoss Pads as "a way of taking sounds into the domain of muscular control. Why is it classic? It's just so easy – and most importantly – fun to use. It can act as a vocoder, or as effects for keyboards, guitar or any other sound source. Though mostly used to sample, loop, pitch-bend or otherwise manipulate music that has already been mixed down – such as in a DJ set – the KP is also pretty handy in live performances. The Kaoss Pad 3 can manipulate samples and loops as well as applying a range of effects, the Mini KP is a budget-price, but powerful Kaoss Pad, with 100 effects (flange, distortion, delay – you name it), and the Kaoss Pad Entrancer can process audio and video. The various models of Kaoss Pad each have a subtly different purpose. You simply swirl your finger around the pad until you find the sound you want, and then you can either freeze the setting or modulate it further by stroking and prodding the pad as you please. How does it work? The technology of the X/Y controller touchpad that modulates the effects and filters programmed into the Kaoss Pad isn't new or revolutionary, but it's so simply and elegantly implemented in this design that anyone can pick one up and in a matter of seconds get the hang of it. Beatboxer Beardyman has almost become an unofficial spokesman for the Kaoss Pad, while the Kaoss rock star is undoubtedly Muse leader Matt Bellamy, who has a controller for his KP built into his futuristic signature Manson guitars. Brian Eno, perhaps predictably, was also an ardent early supporter, and he even got his old mate Brian Ferry into the world of Kaoss. Who uses it? The first time the Kaoss Pad came to the general public's attention was via Radiohead's Kid A, as part of the tantalising new arsenal of toys that began replacing Jonny Greenwood's trademark guitar explosions around the turn of the millennium. Originally launched in 1999, a brand new generation of the pad – the Kaoss Pad Quad – is out this month. *Operating System support assumes you are using the latest point release.What is it?
